Real Heroes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In the world of breast cancer, the voices of the support people, especially husbands, are seldom heard. So it was a breath of fresh air to hear the voices of Andy Murcia and Bob Stewart. Their loving but always masculine viewpoint, and practical man-to-man advice should be required reading for any man whose wife faces breast cancer. The woman is NOT the only one who goes through breast cancer...her partner (male or female) does, too, and books like this are greatly needed, but few and far between. We live in a world where men no longer tame the wilderness or fight saber-tooth tigers for survival, so it is encouraging to know that there are still heroes...our heroism just finds different expression these days.
INSPIRATIONAL BOOK!

Having gone through breast cancer myself, I must say that this book was God sent! It not only helped my husband help me get through my cancer ordeal, it inspired us both to live a more complete and loving life. Great book with great information, presented in a most entaining manner. We adore Ann Jillian and now we can adore her husband too! Our sincere thanks to these fine authors. This was a first of it's kind book for us in th "battle" for our lives. M/M B. Harvey, Orland Park, Il.

This book was recommended to us by my wife's surgeon and it was tremendously helpful in making sense out of the thoughts and emotions arising from cancer diagnosis and treatment. It lends practical powerful advice for supporting the person you love while dealing with the devastating consequences upon yourself. You will quickly realize that your unexpected thoughts and fears are not uncommon, in fact perfectly normal. The co-authors' openness about their triumphs and mistakes are helpful in developing a strategy to assist your significant other through this crisis. It should be required reading for every couple faced with a cancer diagnosis or any similar situation. I highly recommend this book!
